The site is currently going through some changes due to the addition of the web comic. Look out for some new comic strips this upcoming, followed by a weekly update thereafter.

Sexbeard the Death Pirate advertises himself whilst enjoying a fine summer ale and smoking fine English tobacco from a human skull.

I originally penciled, inked and colored this picture of Sexbeard in 2007. It had little more than a white background and it was used as the back cover for the first issue of the comic. I grew tired of this picture’s boring background and decided to try and make it a cool poster.

More news about STDP soon.

A subject matter inspired by The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Akira and Nine Inch Nails live shows. Don’t ask.

Inked line art, Photoshop colors. This took several hours across several days. Final PSD file’s size = 121.90 mb

I went to Atlanta Comic Convention today. I’d say it was a successful show. Thanks to everybody that stopped by my table. Enjoy your crummy danger stickers!

I did some zombie art while I was at the show.

I also was commissioned for a drawing of Harley Quinn.

And thanks to the MomoCon people for being great neighbors.

How often do you hear that phrase nowadays? A lot? I thought so. When you hear that, it’s usually from a multi-million dollar corporation, and it usually means one of these three things:

1. We’re starting up a rewards card program.
2. We’re going green.
3. We’re laying off several hundred to several thousand employees.

Well, that’s not what’s happening here. This isn’t a multi-million dollar corporation. And what’s happening here isn’t even really that new. It’s just a web comic. That sort of shit has been around since the 90’s, man, ya know, back when the internet was fresh and shit, yeah. So it’s just new to Test Tube.

What it really is, is a lower startup cost.

The way I make Sexbeard the Death Pirate will be changing. From now on, Sexbeard is a web comic. Please share it with your friends, or don’t share it with your friends, or share it with your worst enemies. The printed version is not toast though!

Sexbeard will be updated every Friday for the time being. It will still be divided into issues like a printed comic. Whenever I finish an issue, I will do a print run for people who enjoy printed comics. Instead of the usual cheap crap, I’m going to add some extra stuff to these: a couple of full color pages, posters, etc. I’ll give some more details on that when more of it comes in to focus.

For now, enjoy.

Me and Owen created a large portion of this document the night before AWA. The only thing done prior was the pregnancy picture, the rest was a last minute improvisation. If I recall, the document was press ready sometime after 4 AM on Friday morning. Then I remember hot gluing the condoms into the brochures at 5:30AM. It got some laughs…so yay.

We are launching a web comic very soon. I will try to post some art pertaining to this in the next couple of days. When we have a launch date, I’ll let you know. Keep checking back for other cool things, too.

Have fun with the DANGER stickers people, hope to see you again.
